Introduction

Management:

Director Nuss explained that the forming of the LMPC with all the labor organizations in the Agency is something that she has wanted to do for a very long time. Director Nuss thanked all participates for their efforts in making this LMPC possible. Director Nuss hopes that the collaboration of management and labor will address the mission of the Agency, and make the agency the very best it can be. Director Nuss is looking forward to a good long relationship with union leaderships.

Labor:

DCNA advised that this was the first Agency under Mayor Gray to set up a LMPC. It is hoped that this new committee can be a model for other agencies within the District. Labor advised that they were hopeful of the creation of a number of projects that would oust the need for I & E bargaining. Every effort would be made to get both parties to work for the good of the Agency.

AFGE Local 383 is happy to be a part of the partnership, and advised the LMPC of the loss of their President who recently resigned. Timothy Traylor will be Acting President of AFGE Local 383, until their election occurs in April 2012.

AFSCME also welcomed the collaboration and looked forward to working in partnership with all parties.
